EDIT: 2018 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ Z71 5.3L Crew Cab short bed

 

As the title suggests, I've got a ton of issues that I feel may be one simple cause, but can't narrow it down yet. It all started about 2 years ago when my truck was hit by a drunk driver while I was turning into my driveway. Luckily I managed to get most of the way into my driveway so it hit part of my truck bed and destroyed the rear bumper.

 

Insurance paid out like it was supposed to and the shop repaired everything, or so I thought. They were friends of a friend so I took their word when they told me I needed to have a dealership reset the ABS/traction control lights. Anyways, long story short it took me a while to get around to it, only to find out that the ABS system self checks each time the vehicle is started, so I got conned out of something, but it's been so long now, it's my problem..

 

I decided to look into it myself and bought a decent scanner that detects both OBD and ABS information. Here are the three codes I received:

 

C0050-04 - Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit - Open

U0077-00 Control Module Communication Chassis Expansion CAN Bus Off

U0126-00 Lost Communication with Steering Wheel Angle Sensor Module

 

When I start my vehicle, the parking assist light in the console flashes on for a few seconds, then off. Followed by the ABS light and traction control lights staying on, as well as a pop up telling me stabilitrak was off and the parking assist was off. Pressing the button to turn parking assist on does nothing. Normally it would beep when you get too close and show the forward bars to show how close you are. The rear camera still works, but I'm getting no alerts, it's essentially disabled like it states.

 

I'm assuming all of this is tied into one issue, but I just can't isolate it yet. I was hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction of what may be causing all of these issues. I checked all the wiring that I could physically get to and all of the looms like good, all of the wheel sensor wiring looks fine. I also found this link in my google escapade and checked these locations, and best I could tell the looms are virtually untouched. They're still fully surrounded and protected by the wire loom plastic.

Any thoughts on what may be causing all of these issues, or some suggestions to test and isolate the cause?

 

Thanks in advance,

One confused Firefighter...

Any resolution to this problem?  My 2014 just started doing the same thing on a road trip over the weekend.  The errors show up while driving, but when I turn off the truck and start it up they are gone.

    • This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.  
    • 2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.  
    • Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
    • Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
